Ubuntu 16.04.1 came out on July 21, 2016. I’d been complaining that Ubuntu 16.04 was basically an unusable release, and apparently the folks at Canonical felt the same way — when 16.04 launched they said they wouldn’t recommend 14.04 LTS users upgrade until the first 0.1 point release, i.e. 16.04.1, shipped. Thinking about it is just painful. This is supposed to be an LTS release. Back with 12.04 I started using it from the alpha and never had a single problem. And this 16.04 ends up this unstable — no idea whose fault it is. There are still two fatal bugs hurting Ubuntu 16.04.1’s stability: One is the wildly ballooning memory usage everyone’s been reporting, possibly a leak: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1572801 The other causes unstable network connections — the laptop drops offline on its own after waking from suspend: Not working network connection after boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1434986 The kicker is that neither bug shows as fixed in the 16.04.1 release…
